SHADOW OF THE MONSTER lyrics

DANCE!

I wanna fly back…
…to the future, back to the old days
When we were raised with vinyls, tapes and cassettes
I wanna roll…back!
Roll back time a little and say goodbye
To all the fucked up crazy shit of our time

And rest my soul

I wanna dance, dance to the top
Rock the night and never stop
Wanna make it all with you
I wanna dance, dance to this sound
Rock this place down to the ground
Wanna live it up with you

The voice of Michael J.– it saved our day
Music was our own way to get away
All the epic stuff we did – from right to wrong
No need for likes or tweets – here we don’t belong
And here we go

I wanna dance, dance to the top
Rock the night and never stop
Wanna make it all with you
I wanna dance, dance to this sound
Rock this place down to the ground
Wanna live it up with you

The masters of the universe taught me all there is to know
Jason brought me to the lake to attend his horror show
There was no nightmare without Freddy or without Pennywise
Ghosts were busted, Laura wrapped in plastic, Aliens from the sky
Big hair, loud rock, freedom and parties
We left our hearts in the eighties and nineties
Things moved forward and since then we have been pulling through
But please let me live one night like we used to…!!!

Dance like we don’t care, a kind of magic fills the air – wanna make it all with you
Dance we will never stop, we’ll be rocking ‘till we drop!

I wanna dance, dance to the top, rock the night and never stop
Wanna make it all with you
I wanna dance, dance to this sound, rock this place down to the ground
Wanna live it up with you

ENJOY THE RIDE

In the midnight hour – with my super powers
I wanna burn it all with fire – fire!
And for all the sadness and my glimpse of madness
I have decided to get rid of all the darkness

For all the smiles I have been losing along my road
I cross my heart and make a wish and laugh ’till I have breath in my lungs

I want to smile tonight! I want to take it easier for the rest of my life.
I want to enjoy the ride! Yeah and live it easier, like a star I shine bright!

With the negativity you’ve been spitting over me
I have been building my own castle – castle!
No illusions, no secret doors – I don’t know what I was waiting for
I will lock myself up leaving you to your disaster

For all the smiles I have been losing along my road
I cross my heart and make a wish and laugh ’till I have breath in my lungs

I want to smile tonight! I want to take it easier for the rest of my life.
I want to enjoy the ride! Yeah and live it easier, like a star I shine bright!

Can’t stop messin’ with the fire inside
I will smile smile smile but if needed I’ll still kick you
Down down down where you usually hide
I still got my attitude – I’ll never let you cut through

I wanna smile… wanna smile…!

I want to smile tonight! I want to take it easier for the rest of my life.
I want to enjoy the ride! Yeah and live it easier, like a star I shine bright!

HELL SWEET HELL

Here we are, here we stand
Face to face with a band
Heart in hand together ’til the end

Ready for the rock show, ready to burn
Ready for this kind of love
Music is a woman, music is desire
Magic in us all, baby I’m on fire

We are one, million faces and one soul

My friends this is our feeling that we get from nothing else
A place like home, we are a family
Horns up! There ain’t nothing in this world better than this energy
We rock this place, a smile upon our face – HELL SWEET HELL

With the sun, with the stars
We need only loud guitars
Beers in hand, union: crowd and band

Ready for this party, ready to hell
Raise our fuckin’ glass
Dinner with the devil, carnival of dreams
Now the place is hot, stand up and scream!

We are one, million faces and one soul

My friends this is our feeling that we get from nothing else
A place like home, we are a family
Horns up! There ain’t nothing in this world better than this energy
We rock this place, a smile upon our face – HELL SWEET HELL

There is nothing like it… to sing like you don’t care
To get the best of feelings from notes that fill the air
Nothing can go wrong if we live it like a band
One for all and all for one… this is our hell!
My friends this is our feeling that we get from nothing else
A place like home, we are a family
Horns up! There ain’t nothing in this world better than this energy
We rock this place, a smile upon our face – HELL SWEET HELL

Hey ho! Here we go / this is our rock and roll
Hands up in the air / sing this song like you don’t care
Like a wrecking ball / we will party ‘till we fall
Fire fire! In the hole / Hell sweet hell – our heart and soul

SHADOW OF THE MONSTER

Shape-change king of strange, I dwell in the shadow of the monster
A gun to the head, a knife in the back, beware of the creature in black
Mind control monster show, together I walk with the devil
Teaching me daily the art of disguise, my dear master of compromise

The shadow is growing in me, the monster is now eating me

It’s a curse! It’s a curse!
Day by day it’s getting worse
I ‘m living in the shadow of a monster
Like a bird without wings
I’m a puppet on a string
and I’m living in the shadow of the monster – in me

Foul dark carnosaur eating my flesh from the inside
Offerings for the devourer of minds, a fictional version of our human kind
Bloodshed here we go! I feel like living in a freak show
Destined to act in an infinite play where all the characters I do portray

The shadow is growing in me, the monster is now eating me

It’s a curse! It’s a curse!
Day by day it’s getting worse
I ‘m living in the shadow of a monster
Like a bird without wings
I’m a puppet on a string
and I’m living in the shadow of the monster – in me

And it feels alright – to embrace the fright
The horror and disdain are just part of this game
No more lashes no more strings, I can now get back my wings
And be in full control of myself and what life brings

The shadow is growing in me, the monster is now eating me

It’s a curse! It’s a curse!
Day by day it’s getting worse
I ‘m living in the shadow of a monster
It’s a curse! It’s a curse!
Day by day it’s getting worse
I ‘m living in the shadow of a monster
Like a bird without wings
I’m a puppet on a string
and I’m living in the shadow of the monster – in me

THE LIFE & DEATH OF MR.NOBODY

His poor weakened karma
Took wing and faded away – it’s no longer here (not been in a long time)
His whispered innocence, his missing self-defense
Made him pleasing for the wolves
He smokes a cigarette now
He thinks of the time he wasted
Trying to be a different man…for them…
He turns his back, sits tight, all in black
waiting to fall down just like a heart attack
He wants to fade away

Oh why? There is something inside.
In his head, so bad, that is hurting and no one really cares to know
The life & death of Mr. Nobody
Oh why? There is something inside.
In his head, so sad, that is hurting and nobody really cares.
The life & death of Mr. Nobody

He’s been living his life always holding a knife… aimed at his own veins
never hoped for heaven he knew this was the truth.
Sensibility – his worst enemy
A beautiful child – a sad destiny
Yeah he is still living in a bubble – so strong and yet so easy to break – so easy to break
He turns his back, sits tight, all in black
waiting to fall down just like a heart attack
He faded away… this time he faded away

Oh why? There is something inside.
In his head, so bad, that is hurting and no one really cares to know
The life & death of Mr. Nobody
Oh why? There is something inside.
In his head, so sad, that is hurting and nobody really cares.
The life & death of Mr. Nobody

I throw my hands on him – throw my hands on him
He’s so cold like a flower that did not even care to grow
The life & death of Mr. Nobody

It hadn’t been for all the malice in this world
He could have blossomed like the purest of roses. Now he is no more…

Oh why? There is something inside.
In his head, he always tried to change for you all but you never never never understood
His wonderful spirit and soul … Mr. Nobody
Oh why? There is something inside.
In his head, so sad, that is hurting and nobody really cares.
The life & death of Mr. Nobody

APPETITE

Somewhere there’s someone like me
Living like a gipsy in a fairytale
Somewhere around the world
Dreaming something, feeling passion, singing songs
Oh it’s like an endless journey
Oh It’s like falling in love
Oh it’s like a hurricane inside of me
Flowers need rain – I just need this

Oh oh oh oh oh oh! Tonight I break the chains
oh oh oh oh oh! With a dream I fly
Take it to the limit now! Carry on, carry on!
I know my friends you know my appetite

When you need love, when you need rage
It’s the way to open your cage
When emotions are so strong
Try to find the notes to write a special song
The stage is like dope to me
It’s all I’ve got and it’s a cure for my disease

Oh it’s like an endless journey
Oh It’s like falling in love
Oh it’s like a hurricane inside of me
Flowers need rain – I just need this

Oh oh oh oh oh oh! Tonight I break the chains
oh oh oh oh oh! With a dream I fly
Take it to the limit now! Carry on, carry on!
I know my friends you know my appetite

I wanna get high every day and night
I’m addicted to this funny paradise
Take it to the limit now! Carry on, carry on!
This is where I do belong

Oh oh oh oh oh oh! Tonight I break the chains
oh oh oh oh oh! With a dream I fly
Take it to the limit now! Carry on, carry on!
I know my friends you know my appetite

NAKED

I want to touch your skin , kiss your lips still with the taste of wine
I need all your movements and hear your breath please free our minds
Crazy angel shake for me tonight ’till the morning lights
Naked, close to me.. now nothing to surround us
Send me to heaven and then take me down to hell

No fear no wall baby
Sweet or low, fast or slow
Dance with me, talk to me
We are lost inside our pleasure

I got sinful desires, baby I can take you higher (take you higher)
Now look at my face, every moment, every place
We can do everything, we can do it in every way
Baby please don’t stop these hands
Send me to heaven and then take me down to hell

No fear no wall baby
Sweet or low, fast or slow
Dance with me, talk to me
We are lost inside our pleasure

No fear no wall baby
Sweet or low, fast or slow
Dance with me, talk to me
We are lost inside our pleasure

LE CIRQUE DES HORREURS

There is the hot girl, a wanna be model
There’s the ugly one, who thinks she is delicious
There’s the school girl, who wanna blow her teacher
The same people over and over again

There is the smart guy, a wanna be genius
The photographer, who thinks he won a prize
There’s the office chief, a wanna be martyr
The same people over and over again

They all belong in a circus that should have been shut down for good

And then there’s “you and me”, the things we see
are wild and beautiful, pure and different
You and me, our world is free
from all their shallowness, we are different
from all – the boring thing that they call life
A life that has already been lived by someone else

There is the poor kid, bullied by bastards
There’s the big jerk, who thinks he’s always right
(The) local band, who act like Motley Crue
The same people over and over again
The politician, he’d sell you for a dime
The musician, who couldn’t write a rhyme
The follower, the stalker, the greedy and the vain
The same individuals over again

They all belong in a circus that should have been shut down for good

And then there’s “you and me”, the things we see
are wild and beautiful, pure and different
You and me, our world is free
from all their shallowness, we are different
from all – the boring thing that they call life
A life that has already been lived by someone else

Ladies and Gentlemen get your tickets now! the show is continuous it’s never out, it’s never over, it goes on all the time!
We told you we had living, breathing monstrosities. They did not ask to be brought into the world, but into the world they came.
Come forward, come forward! Welcome to the freak show!

They all belong in a circus. The sideshow of Life.

And then there’s “you and me”, the things we see
are wild and beautiful, pure and different
You and me, our world is free
from all their shallowness, we are different from all – the boring thing that they call life
A life that has already been lived by someone else

TRY ME, HATE ME

Welcome to my special world, “no life” man
Welcome to my real emotions
Snoop around, listen in, why do you look at me?
What are you looking for?

You’re living with a tendency, a terrible dependency
To say whatever comes to mind and take us all down
From your dirty little hiding place with your ugly poker face
Are you really sure anyone will care?

So come join my party
Be my guest and take it away!
Do you really want to try me, hate me?

Listen to me now motherfucker! Fuck your web generation!
Dumb vox populi: decadence of our kind
What are you looking for?

You’ve got a disease, so tell me, tell me, please, please
Do the words and ranting keep the symptoms at ease?
A confessional – filled with the irrational – it is unbelievable
Save me from your disgrace

So come join my party
Be my guest and take it away!
Do you really want to try me, hate me, bring me down?

So come join my party
Be my guest and take it away!
Do you really want to try me, hate me?

You think you’re so important, that your silly opinions count
All your trolling and your verbal instability, get the fuck away from me!

So come join my party
Be my guest and take it away!
Do you really want to try me, hate me?
So come join my party
Be my guest and take it away!
Do you really want to try me, hate me, bring me down?
So come join my party
Be my guest and take it away!
Do you really want to try me, hate me, bring me down?
So come join my party
Be my guest and take it away!
Do you really want to try me, hate me?
